The Party’s Just Beginning
Directed By: Karen Gillan
Grade: B
I was super excited to see Karen Gillans writing and directorial debut show up on iTunes. I’ve been a huge fan since her Amy Pond days so I really wanted to check this out and support an actress I love going behind the camera (and writing!)
I think it’s a really strong debut a character study that will stick with me but I can’t say I loved it.

Once Upon a River
By: Diane Setterfield
Grade: A

It’s a story about stories. A story about lost children and a girl who seemingly rises from the dead but definitely from the river.

Directed by: Clay Katis

Hell, they don’t just fall victim to it they embrace the tropes and wring them out until there’s nothing left but sad little tissues on the ground crying, “Just because it’s Christmas maybe you shouldn’t have married the guy you only knew for a week…”
But I digress.

So I never had any interest in Litjoy until I actually watched an Unboxing for October and the art and differences of the book were so interesting I picked up the November box!

I could not resist the Snow White tale as told from the POV of my favorite dwarf. Grumpy. Real name: Borlan. A dwarf who doesn’t actually like being unground all that much and has a deep fascination with the surface.
